Walt Disney Pictures: Difference between revisions

'''Visuals:''' Just the text "WALT DISNEY PICTURES" (set in the typeface Celtic, later known as University Roman) in a {{color|teal}} rectangular box with white and {{color|blue}} outlines around it.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, a shower of white light descends from the top of the screen, forming a stylized, segmented drawing of a castle; the segments appear to be spaced increasingly further apart as the light descends. Through the main gate of the castle, a white light appears and grows brighter before morphing into the words "'''W{{Small|ALT}} Di{{small|SNEY}}'''" in its familiar corporate font, followed by the blue text "{{font|Courier New|PICTURES}}" (set in ITC Lubalin Graph) fading in underneath. Another ray of light then draws an arc over the castle, which is hidden only by its highest tower. Three main variants of this exist:

* June 21, 1985-November 17, 1989: The castle has a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}/white gradient, and the arc is drawn all the way to the bottom left of the castle, behind the "W" in "Walt Disney". Also, there is a brief pause after the initial glow before the shower of light descends, and the light from the castle gate appears immediately after the castle has been fully formed.

** Some versions of this variant show the castle with a {{color|mediumpurple|lavender}}/white gradient. However, some prints of ''The Black Cauldron'' show the castle in pure white.  

* March 21, 1990-April 14, 2006: The castle is now {{color|skyblue|sky blue}}, and the arc now ends just above the "W" in "Walt Disney".

* February 15, 2002-December 12, 2006: Same as the 1990 variant, but a seventh flag is added to the rightmost tower of the castle (presumably to match the print logo of the time), which also has a more {{color|teal}}-ish color. This variant is seen exclusively on films produced by [[DisneyToon Studios]].

'''Visuals:''' On a black/{{color|navy|navy blue}} gradient background, the regular "'''W{{Small|ALT}} Di{{small|SNEY}}'''" script, in a textured {{color|lightskyblue|baby blue}} hue, writes itself onscreen (a la the 1986 [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]] logo). The word "{{Font|Goudy Old Style|'''P I C T U R E S'''}}" (set in Goudy Extra Bold) fades in below the script, with each of the letters spaced out. A ray of light appears below the script and extends to form a line between the script and text, with a small break at the "y" in "Walt Disney".

'''Visuals:''' Just the {{color|blue}} text "WALT DISNEY PICTURES" (set in ITC Usherwood) on a black background, with "WALT DISNEY" on the top row and "PICTURES" on the bottom, justified to fit the first line of text.

*On ''<u>Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book</u>'', the text appears in {{color|green}}.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, the camera flies out through the gate of a {{color|silver}} CGI castle with {{color|lightblue|light blue}} tops and yellow flags. When the camera zooms out to its regular position, the logo animates in the same manner of the 2nd logo, but the "'''W{{Small|ALT}} Di{{small|SNEY}}'''" text appears sculpted, and the light that draws the arc over the castle is slower and drops what seems to be pixie dust.

'''Variant:''' On trailers, the castle is in a more {{color|peru|bronze}} color, and the text is brighter.

* On <u>Indian films</u>, the logo is brighter, with the sky in a {{color|lightblue|lighter blue}} color, the clouds in a {{color|hotpink|pinkish}} color, and the castle in a slight tint of {{color|green}}.

'''Visuals:''' It starts off with an enhanced version of the night sky from the previous logo, which turns out to be a reflection in a river as the largest star jumps out of the water, causing the scene to ripple around it (a la the current [[Paramount Pictures]] logo). The camera pans up and zooms past an updated version of the river and buildings as the train passes by on a bridge, now with a waterfall, trees and other elements, as the star flies around the landscape. Once the camera gets to the waterfall, it pans up to reveal a back view of the castle from the previous logo before the star flies across it. The camera rotates to the right and works its way to the front of the castle as multiple fireworks are seen around it. The camera then reaches its standard position, revealing a new sunset background and river. The arc (now wider, brighter, and colored in {{color|blue}}) is drawn from the left side of the castle rather than from the right, with a star twinkling when it reaches its highest point. As the camera slowly zooms out, the "'''Di{{small|SNEY}}'''" script is written in front of the castle with a glass texture (this time more closely resembling the corporate wordmark) as the camera comes to a stop, before the logo fades out.

** On the Disney100 variant, the castle being filled with color homages a scene in the film where the enchantment is broken, and light and color spread across the castle. The castle, however, was shown in the reflection in that scene due to being shown as platinum metallic.

* On the Disney100 variant, the platinum metallic appearance of the castle and text represent the Walt Disney Company's 100th anniversary in 2023; platinum was a recurring color across the company's anniversary branding.

* During the logo's debut and first official year (2023, even though it debuted in 2022), the Disney script is in metallic silver, with a "{{color|silver|100}}" (with the two zeroes resembling an infinity symbol) in a similar fashion next to it, which makes the <u>Disney100</u> logo. When the castle is revealed, it also is initially shown with a platinum metallic appearance, with fireworks also being shown on its reflection, but is filled with color when the star reaches the castle; it finishes transforming once the star reaches the highest point of the castle. Also, in this version, Pride Rock is completely a silhouette.

** Also, during the logo's early run in 2022, "{{color|silver|100 YEARS OF WONDER}}" (set in the Walt Disney Company's own font InspireTWDC) fades in below the text once it finishes forming.

* A <u>short variant</u> exists where it starts on the arc drawing, albeit with the text already formed. This can be seen on trailers, TV spots and as a closing logo, as well as on short films beginning with ''Carl's Date''. It also appears at the beginning of ''Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny'' (international theatrical releases have the "{{color|silver|100 YEARS OF WONDER}}" slogan variant; the non-slogan version is restored on international home video releases in line with its US release).
